Sometimes the most random things on the internet that are the most entertaining.
A perfect example of this comes to us today from a man in Britain who randomly decided to write a comical series of tweets describing what he thinks each U.S. state is known for without using Google for help.
“I, a British person, will now list all 50 states of the USA and what I believe they’re famous for without googling. Alphabetical order if you’re looking for a particular one. A thread:” tweeted @human_not_bees.
He gets the ball rolling with the thing for which he thinks the state of Alabama is most well-known.
To the best of my knowledge Alabama is famous for having their fingers crossed when they surrendered.
